Lyrics
Verse (English)
He who did not spare His own Son
But delivered Him over for us all
How will He not also with Him freely give us all things
If God is for us, who can be against us
Who will separate us from the love of Christ
Chorus (English)
Neither death, nor life,
Nor angels, nor principalities
Nor things present, nor things to come
Will be able to separate us from the love of God
בית (Hebrew Verse)
הוא אשר לא חשך את בנו שלו
אלא מסר אותו בעד כולנו
האם לא יעניק לנו את הכל איתו
אם אלוהים איתנו מי יעמוד נגדנו
מי יפרידנו מאהבת המשיח
פזמון (Hebrew Chorus)
לא המוות ולא החיים
לא מלאכים ולא שליטים
לא ההווה ולא העתיד
יפרידנו מאהבת אלוהים

Meaning & Inspiration
Praises of Israel - Hu Asher (He Who Did Not Spare) sets Romans 8:32-39 in English and Hebrew. The verse says that God did not spare His own Son but delivered Him for all, so He will freely give all things, and asks who can be against those for whom God is. The chorus lists death, life, angels, principalities, things present and things to come, and declares none can separate believers from the love of God.
The Hebrew verse and chorus mirror the English line by line, which makes the song a bilingual statement of the same assurance. The text follows Romans 8:31-32 and 8:38-39 closely, and the love of Christ in the verse connects with John 3:16 and 1 John 4:9-10. The straightforward Scripture wording and bilingual format give the song a reverent, declarative tone.
